After being married off by my younger sister, I became the most beloved person in the palace

"Lin Jianyue is so beautiful that even the third prince is fascinated by her?" Liu Zhenzhen asked with her eyes wide open in shock.

Otherwise, how could one or two of them be bewitched by her?

A mere actress, not only did Prince Ming make a scene for her, becoming known to the whole city and a laughing stock among the people, but she also made the Third Prince disregard the stigma of stealing the concubine of a minister?

Gu Zhiyin smiled and said, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder."

There are tens of millions of flower seeds in the world, but this one just happens to grow in people's hearts.

If Lin Jianyue was a righteous person, with Fu Yunjing's love and care, her life would surely be comfortable. However, she was not content and always thought that there was another mountain to climb.

The Third Prince plotted against me in the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion, and I should explain the grudges to everyone in the Liu family.

Liu Zhenzhen looked at Gu Zhiyin with eyes full of sympathy. It was really unfair for Sister Gu to marry Prince Ming.

It’s just that we met too late, otherwise I would have taken her home to be my sister-in-law no matter what.

Alas, Fu Yunjing is so unreliable, and I don’t know if there will be a second “Lin Jianyue” in the future.

After sitting for a while, Liu Zhenzhen stood up and said goodbye.

Gu Zhiyin escorted her out of the house. When they were near the gate, she said, "Zhenzhen, can you do me a favor?"

Liu Zhenzhen nodded without hesitation and said, "You say..."

Wen stayed in Chaohui Hall and told the old princess that Fu Yunyao was too ill to attend the banquet.

"...Wei, this stupid woman, actually took Pei Shuyan to the Duke's Mansion without caring about Yao'er's face. She said she was a niece, but others didn't know that. Who would take a merchant's daughter to social events all day long? I think she cares more about Pei Shuyan than Yao'er. People who don't know would think Pei Shuyan is her daughter-in-law."

When the old princess listened, her heart suddenly skipped a beat and she looked at Wen with a cold expression.

"Daughter-in-law?"

Wen was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly explained: "Mother, don't misunderstand me. I am just making an analogy, for example."

"No, the Marquis of Xing'an is doing something strange. Yao'er is a princess. I tried so hard to get Ji Yuanwen to marry her. Even if my Fu family is not as good as before, marrying Yao'er to their family is a step down. The Ji family should love her sincerely, if not hold her in high esteem. But now, when she is seriously ill, they are taking a merchant girl to the banquet at the Duke's Mansion. They don't even care about the rules. There is definitely something wrong."

Wen's face also turned a little pale. She guessed that Wei might have been wronged by Fu Yunyao, but she couldn't be sure.

"So Wei intends to take Pei Shuyan as a concubine for Ji Yuanwen?"

The old princess pursed her lips and did not respond.

Taking a concubine is a small matter, but listening to Wei's attitude towards Pei Shuyan, she cares so much about a concubine. If she really lets her into the Ji family, wouldn't it be like favoring the concubine over his wife?

If that time really comes, and her husband and parents-in-law are unwilling to protect her, Yao'er will probably have a hard time staying in the Marquis' Mansion.

"Take some time in the next two days to visit Yao'er at the Xing'an Marquis's Mansion. If that doesn't work, bring her back to recuperate."

Wen replied without hesitation: "Okay, mother."

……

In the evening, Gu Zhiyin got on the carriage and returned to the Gu Mansion.

Gu Yanqing had just returned from the Hanlin Academy. He had just sat down to drink a sip of tea when he heard the gatekeeper report that Gu Zhiyin had returned and wanted to see him for something.

"Please go to the study and wait, Miss."

"Yes." the servant replied.

Gu Yanqing changed his clothes and went to the study.

When Gu Zhiyin saw him enter the room, she put down the teacup in her hand, stood up and saluted: "Father."

Gu Yanqing nodded slightly: "The servant said you have something to ask me?"

After saying that, he sat down opposite Gu Zhiyin and looked at her.

Gu Zhiyin also sat down and said, "Father, Qingcheng is in trouble."

Gu Yanqing sat up straight when he heard this, his handsome face full of shock and fear: "What do you mean?"

Gu Zhiyin glanced at the maid beside her and said to Gu Yanqing, "He went out at noon and startled the horse of the fourth young master of the Huguo Mansion. The fourth young master accidentally fell off the horse and the guards caught him on the spot. The wife of the Duke was very angry and wanted to know which servant came to her house to talk. Later, she found out that he was a servant of the Gu family, so she asked Miss Liu to come to me."

"What do I want to see you for?" Gu Yanqing's eyes twitched constantly. When he thought of his own servant who bumped into the young master of the Duke of Huguo's Mansion and caused him to fall off his horse, his eyes turned black and he wanted to faint.

Gu Zhiyin didn't say anything, and the maid standing beside him bowed to Gu Yanqing and said, "Master Gu, my wife said that even if you can escape the death penalty, you can't escape the living crime. If you drive this servant out of the Gu family, then for the sake of the Princess, the Gu family will not be held responsible for this matter, and only this servant will be punished."

When Gu Yanqing heard this, he quickly stood up and called the general manager Gu Zhong.

"Master." Gu Zhong stood at the door and called.

"Hurry up and find Madam and bring Qing Cheng's indenture over."

Seeing that Gu Yanqing's face was not right, Gu Zhong did not dare to ask more questions and quickly responded, "Yes, Master."

After saying that, he hurried to the main courtyard.

The indenture of the servant in the front yard was originally in the hands of Gu Yanqing, but in order to control Mother Hu, Jiang asked for Qingcheng's indenture. Gu Yanqing did not ask much. He was just a servant in the front yard. If Jiang wanted it, she would give it to her.

So when Gu Zhonglai asked her to take Qingcheng's indenture, Jiang suddenly became alert.

"Why does the master want Qingcheng's indenture?"

Gu Zhong shook his head: "I don't know. The master didn't look very happy, so I didn't dare to ask more."

Jiang narrowed her beautiful eyes, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Who came to the Gu family today?"

Gu Zhong said: "No outsiders came. The princess just came back."

Gu Zhiyin...

Oh, now it makes sense.

She asked why the master wanted Qingcheng's indenture for no reason, and said that it was probably this little bitch's doing, intending to take Qingcheng's indenture in her hands so as to control Mother Hu.

After getting married, even more thoughts and ideas emerge.

"Tell the master that Qingcheng is my right-hand man and I can't bear to let him go. If the young lady wants to hire someone else, just replace him." Jiang said lightly.

"Ah?" Gu Zhong looked at Jiang in a daze.

Did Madam misunderstand something?

"But Master..."

Gu Zhong was halfway through his words when Jiang interrupted him impatiently: "Just go and answer the question. If you have anything, ask the master to come to me."

Gu Zhong opened his mouth and had to leave.

"Did you think I didn't know Gu Zhiyin's little thoughts? She relied on her good marriage to want to use the master to take away Qingcheng's indenture. Humph, you wish." Jiang's confidant said to her mother.

Xiang Mama smiled and said, "Madam, you are wise. Only when Qingcheng is in our hands can Madam Hu be used by you. Miss is young after all. She thought she could hide this from you."

Jiang curled her lips proudly: "That's right."

Not long after, a greeting came from the yard: "Greetings, Master."

Jiang was stunned for a moment, then stood up and greeted him: "Master."

"Give me Qingcheng's indenture." Gu Yanqing said straight to the point without any further ado.
